The WWE Network schedule reveals that the special will be titled "Bruno" and will run for one hour. Below is the synopsis:
"A celebration of the incredible life and career of 'The Living Legend', Bruno Sammartino."
- We noted before how WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels is working backstage at the weekend WWE NXT Road Trip live events in the Northeast and tweeted props for Thursday's match between Ricochet and The Velveteen Dream in Washington, DC, which Ricochet won. Dream received a big homecoming reaction and some boos before the match, as seen in the videos below:
